Solanke іѕѕueѕ freѕh uрdate followіng hіѕ ‘dark tіmeѕ’ рoѕt and іnjury ѕetback
Tottenham Hotspur striker Dominic Solanke has shared a fresh update as he continues his recovery from injury. The forward has managed only three appearances this season while trying to play through the problem. Solanke is aiming for a quick comeback, with manager Thomas Frank stating in early October that he didn’t expect the former Bournemouth star to face a long spell on the sidelines.
The 28-year-old hasn’t played for Spurs since August and has featured for just 49 minutes in total, coming on against Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Burnley. Despite the setback, the England international has been trying to remain upbeat, judging by his recent Instagram activity.
On Sunday, he captioned several new photos of himself with: “Little bit of life.”
Solanke’s latest post follows a similar message from four weeks earlier, when he wrote: “Positivity through the dark times,” alongside more pictures.
He has recently hinted on social media that his return to action may not be far away.
“Hi everyone, just a quick update on my current situation,” he wrote. “The last few months have been incredibly frustrating as I’ve tried everything to push through my ankle issue before opting for surgery.
“None of it fixed the problem, so we decided to go ahead with a minor operation, which I had this morning. It all went well, so hopefully I’ll be back on the pitch very soon.
“Thank you for all the love and messages.”
Before Spurs’ Champions League meeting with Bodo/Glimt in September, Frank confirmed that Solanke missed the trip because of the procedure. “Dom has had this ankle problem that’s been troubling him for a while,” he said.
“So we decided to have a minor surgery. It’s a small procedure, so it rules him out for today and for the Leeds game as well. We’ll have a clearer timeline after the international break, but I don’t expect it to be a long absence.”
